Jack and Jill



Jack and Jill went up the hill 
To fetch a pail of water, 
Jack came down when he was done 
And Jill came dancing after. 
  
With them they bring a bird that sings, 
It fell off from a tree, 
They cared for it to cure its wings, 
Until it flew was free. 

Humpty Dumpty



Humpty dumpty sat on a chair, 
Humpty dumpty sang with love and care. 
All the king’s forces all the king’s men, 
With Humpty Dumpty sang again and again!! 

Space for peace







          Peace peace peace peace peace peace peace 
          Peace peace peace peace peace peace peace 
          Peace peace pe                    ace peace peace 
          Peace peace pe                    ace peace peace 
          Peace peace pe                    ace peace peace 
          Peace peace peace peace peace peace peace 
          Peace peace peace peace peace peace peace 






 

Sound-sense-silence

Sound-sense-silence

Sound, sense, silence are saplings from the soil 
Seem slow and stable in our cells. 
As unsung songs unseal 
Seeking to save, see, solace our souls. 

Flow

flow

Sound, sense, silence 
O what friends wise! 
All day long, from each one – steady and strong 
They set, rise, arise 
For good or for bad, for right or for wrong 
They team and they tense. 
  
Sound, sense, silence 
O what words they are! 
They are here to stay, inside and out 
They trick and they mar, 
Within each, they sink and they sprout 
Beyond their means, and beside their fence. 
  
Sound, sense, silence 
O what matters they are found most everywhere! 
Their hide and seek and howl, 
By fair means or foul, 
Played from the front to the rear 
In their defense, offense. 
  
The sound of sense, 
Lies perhaps in silence! 
And the silence in sound, 
With sense on the round, 
Comes and goes 
As feelings or as words, 
Or matter that flows, 
For better or for worse!

Lure failure

Lure failure

I have failed in many of my tries 
Hope is a burnt toast, faith here dries. 

Suddenly O suddenly I see a seed sown 
I cover, uncover, recover - to discover my own. 

Failures have failed to keep me mighty low 
I gained again the energy, the journey starts to glow.

Welcome dude


Welcome dude

In and out
It’s time to sprout

Pull and push
One more in the bush

Keep or scratch
Trash or thatch
Give or take
Make or break
Nest or fuss
Onus on us

Coz it didn’t even ask
If it’s fun or a task
So when it is to come
To it we welcome.

My pleasure


My pleasure

The night is calm and sweet
Time has stopped. No noise - no beat

Closed are your lips, so pretty close
The poem has them locked, as an unending prose
Eyes are shut, you shut within
A feather on bed, your Self has been
You move like a fish, to swim it around
My Self sings a song, with not a little sound
The night is so calm, all full of charm
We ease out the night, and rest in its arm
Tired are you, awake asleep
Happy are you to have taken the leap

Calm is the night, so tender and thin
My prose just arrived with a poem within.

Hutapatalahoo

Hutapatalahoo

Hey silky grumpy face 
Sadly grimace race 
Come sing and dance and play 
Do hutapatalahoo 
  
With terror in the brain 
Horror all in vain 
Killing gunning men 
Women and children 
Living dying when 
No one knows you do? 
So hutapatalahoo 
  
Jerk it joke it phoo 
Sense has no sense too 
Hugging kissing do 
Say hutapatalahoo 
  
Moon is coming soon 
Night has become noon 
Covered men have come 
To shoot and kill us some 
Donno. You-know-who? 
So hutapatalahoo 
  
Rocking rolling do 
Meaning freaking too 
Just loving living do 
Do hutapatalahoo 
  
Bless you dress you nude 
Hey all of us are dude 
To rude and shrewd and crude 
Drop the fight and feud 
Let us live all do 
To hutapatalahoo 
  
Do so say so do 
To hutapatalahoo 
More hitting hurting do 
We living loving do  
More horror terror do 
More vanish finish do 
We magic music do 

We hutapatalahoo 
Just hutapatalahoo

Tell us how show us now


Tell us how show us now

I was standing lonely on a mound 
Thinking and talking to myself, 
‘Tell me how, show me now 
To break the walls of Self 
From the books, from the prow 
From the pelf and the pound’ 
  
The invisible walls of dissension 
Standing so wide and tall 
Of faith, of trust, of skin and crust 
Taught to us and followed sans gumption 
Fight we should, fight we must 
From winter to the fall 
  
For who taught us Love? We fight for that Man? 
For the Book? That talks of Peace? 
We fight for them! To guard our clan! 
Put brooks and rocks amiss! 
Thinking thus I felt a pain, 
From my heart till the brain. 
  
From the mound I see a crowd. 
Raging and rushing unto me, 
They’ll kill me, I thought aloud 
O let them come I’ll die for free. 
I stand on the mound praying for Love and Peace 
They’ll chop me dead blow off my head and throw it in abyss. 
  
Hey noh! Look what is it that I hear! 
They’re singing? ‘Show us now, tell us how 
To break the walls of Fear’ 
My jaw dropped, my surprised brow 
Thought, they’re passing me by…how? 
The song ran all so clear, from nearly everywhere! 
  
I quickly joined the crowd, 
Jumped off the Selfish mound, 
The Song so danced around 
From the heaven to the ground, 
‘Tell us how, show us now’ 
Seems so sweet and sound.
